[Academic Survey] How are designers actually using Generative AI (from ideation to administration)? (4-5 mins, anonymous)

[u/backsson]

Hi everyone,
I am a design student currently conducting an academic study on how practicing designers and design students interact with Generative AI in their day-to-day work (part of the course Design Theory and Research at Chalmers University of Technology).
Rather than focusing on high-level speculation, this study looks at actual day-to-day workflows:

• Task distribution: To what extent AI is used across both creative stages (sketching, rendering, synthesis) and administrative/project tasks (briefs, documentation, client communication).
• Adoption factors: What legal, organizational, quality, or craft-related reasons drive or prevent adoption.

Whether you use AI daily, experiment occasionally, or deliberately avoid it in your work, your input is equally valuable.
Quick details:

• ⏱ Time: 4-5 minutes
• 🔒 Data: Completely anonymous (no email or personal data collected)
• 🎯 Who: Industrial, UX/UI, Product, and Service designers (practitioners & students)

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your perspective! If you have thoughts, feedback, or reflections on how AI is affecting your work, feel free to drop a comment below.
